Rachel has visited Kingsbury school to speak to students as part of their citizenship classes, and later that day raised their support for the voting age to be lowered to sixteen in parliament.

It was a delight to return to Kingsbury school to meet this year’s Citizenship class. It was fascinating to hear their thoughts on their area including road safety, fly-tipping and youth clubs – really civic minded young people offering some great solutions. It was great to be able to reflect their views on votes for 16 year olds in parliament too.
